I have been anxiously awaiting the release of The Search since the moment I put down the first in the series, The Descendant. The Search picks right up where The Descendant left off, and doesn't disappoint--at all. I won't put in any spoilers, but let's just say that Allison kicks more ass in this installment, and we definitely get a good dose of that yummy, swoon-worthy Vincent. To summarize, THIS BOOK ROCKS! - JD

Excerpt

“I’ve already told you once and I’m going
to tell you again – no. Now please get off the property before I call the
police.”

Gabriela tried closing the door again but
my foot didn’t budge. I stared directly into her eyes. “You will let me into
this house,” I commanded, but Gabriela’s eyes didn’t react to my persuasion. I
was confused as to what was going on; this had worked on every human I had
tried it on. “You will let me in this house.”

“No…I…won’t.”

I tilted my head in disbelief and Gabriela
mockingly tilted her head back at me. I removed my foot from the doorway but
had no intention of letting her shut me out. I was going to let her think for
the slightest of moments that she had won this argument. I turned to walk away
when I heard, “Ali-gator.”

I turned around and as Gabriela was
shutting the door asked, “What did you just say?”

“Okay lady, you’re losing your mind.” She
twirled her finger next to her temple as she whistled cuckoo.

If I could have breathed fire I would have
in that moment. I charged Gabriela but before I could reach her I felt like I
had hit a brick wall. I placed my hands out in front of me but they couldn’t
cross the threshold. Gabriela’s smirk irritated me.

“I told you I wouldn’t let you enter,” she
taunted and slammed the door.
